The participants of the Grushin conference held in Moscow (organized by VTsIOM) evaluated the psychological state of the Russians at this time. writes about it “Kommersant”.

Reportedly, while the mental health of Russian citizens is facing new challenges, psychological defense mechanisms have had the effect of “rallying around the flag” and even sparking a wave of social optimism.

Psychologists believe that this kind of optimism has a chance to be sustainable. Erosion of trust in social institutions can prevent this.

As the experts have pointed out, the Russians began to gravitate towards social democratic and liberal values ​​instead of conservative values. Experts say that citizens of the Russian Federation sympathize with centrist political forces.

HSE professor Olga Gulevich noted that the threat caused conservative change in society. Therefore, according to him, an internal threat (economic crisis, decline in living standards, oppression) strengthens the demand for justice, while an external or international threat, on the contrary, allows you to neglect it and forgive the state. There are many who seek their protection. This explains the phenomenon of “gathering around the flag”. Reportedly, sociologists have been recording this in Russia since the beginning of the NWO.

On April 19, the annual United Day of Action was held in Russia to commemorate the genocide of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War.
